    With Mayweather, it's his brittle hands.

    I haven't watched him enough to have an opinion. I haven't seen what his body can take or any bad habits that exposes him. I thought that when he switched to lefty that he would be weaker but he is just as strong there. Time will tell.:bbb

    So far, I don't see anything either...'less some intangible emerges

    i think he is much better defensively from the south paw stance. he leans on that front foot in the orthodox stance and squares up sometimes which both make him easier to hit there. in the southpaw stance he looks brilliant. i also like his punch selection and creativity from this stance as well.

    Me thinks you're a former boxer or trainer, d.
     
  6. Crawford is the real deal. He boxes very well in both stances and he seems to have a solid chin. I'm a big fan of Crawford, looking forward to his next fight

    Is he even-money against the best lightweights?
     
  8. I honestly believe so. His style is very complicated, I can't think of a fighter off the top of my head who switches from southpaw to orthodox and vice versa and looks so comfortable doing it multiple times during a fight

    Looked flawless in his first fight on HBO but his second one was kind of a walk over and didnt tell us much

    All I know is he is hittable and can let his guard down when he thinks a guy cant hurt him or when he feels he needs to "force the fight"

    Max said he is defensive minded fighter who isnt scared of getting hit which is great for entertainment but could mean he gets clocked
